I don’t know what it is at this moment in time, but I have been drawn to a constant rotation of the Arctic Monkeys. In particular their debut album “Whatever people say I am, that’s what I am not”. It takes me to my younger self and makes me think of my friendships during this era of great social division. They were friends of mine before any of us thought we knew anything about politics.
“Well, over there, there’s friends of mine
What can I say? I’ve known ’em for a long long time
And, yeah, they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
No, not in the same way
Said, not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no”
